Former Blue Peter presenter and dad of toddler twins Tim Vincent hosts this comedy discussion programme, featuring regular panellists and comedians Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.

In this episode, talk turns to relationships and how they can change during the course of fatherhood. Has anyone lost friends as a result of not being able to go out more often? Did having a child have an impact on relationships with their partners? And how does the relationship between them and their children change as they both get older.

Along the way, The Likely Dads discuss the rise and usefulness of dads groups, how to get your love life back on track, and what a “poonami” is.

Special guests joining Tim, Mick and Russell this time - Errol Murray, the founder of the Leeds Dads parenting group, and Derrick Evans, known to the public as health and fitness guru Mr Motivator. Everybody say Yeah!

Former Blue Peter presenter Tim Vincent, the dad to twin two-year-old boys, hosts this comedy discussion programme featuring regular panellists and comedians Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.

In this episode, The Likely Dads talk about what it’s like to be away from their children. What's the longest amount of time they’ve been away? Does their line of work mean it’s more likely to happen than normal? How do they cope when they are away and what’s it like when they get home? Along the way we discover whether or not you should “fall into the trap” of buying your children gifts if you’ve been away and the joy of spending time alone on your own.

In a regular feature, one of The Likely Dads has to guess the answers to questions previously asked of their children.

The special guests joining Tim, Russell and Mick in this episode are comedian and actor John Thomson (The Fast Show, Cold Feet) and football journalist Mike McGrath.

Former Blue Peter presenter and father to two-year-old twins Tim Vincent continues to host this comedy discussion programme, featuring regular panellists Mick Ferry and Russell Kane.

Tim and The Likely Dads talk about how dads are represented, both in life and in the media. The conversation turns to some of the different stereotypes they’ve all heard, or even faced, and asks whether or not some of them are grossly outdated or might actually be accurate.

One of our Likely Dads shares their experience of participating in a fly-on-the-wall documentary while raising a new-born baby and some of the comments they were faced with as a result. And what is the difference between being a single dad and a sole parent?

In our regular feature, we ask one of the children of our Likely Dads a few questions and hear how accurately the respective Dad can guess their offspring’s answers. Will it result in happy families or tears before bedtime?

Our special guests joining Tim, Mick and Russell this week are anti-racism campaigner and businessman Dominic Bruce and comedian and playwright Laurence Clark.

Former Blue Peter presenter Tim Vincent hosts a new comedy discussion series.

Tim has undertaken many challenges throughout the course of his life - from painting Blackpool Tower and snow survival training with the army in Norway to flying in Tornado jets and running the New York marathon. But do any of them compare to his latest challenge - being the middle-aged father to two-year-old twin boys? And how does his experience of fatherhood so far compare to that of other dads?

In this first episode, Tim and his fellow Likely Dads, Russell Kane and Mick Ferry, reflect on their expectations of fatherhood, from pregnancy through to their kids' teenage years and adulthood. Is it easier becoming a dad when you’re full of the vigour of youth or when you’re a bit older and, hopefully, wiser?

In a regular feature, we ask the children of one of our Likely Dads a series of questions to determine which of them knows their children better - and vice versa.

Our special guest Likely Dads joining Tim, Russell and Mick this week are actor Chris Bisson and comedian Che Burnley.
